“It feels so good to be here where you’re well appreciated. The reception from the management, players and fans are overwhelming.

“Malumfashi FC is an ambitious club and it’s the reason i accepted their offer despite receiving offers from other clubs.

“I want to sincerely thank the club’s chairman, Alhaji Sirajo Umar Baba, for giving me the opportunity to serve this great club and together, we can make history with the club.

“The NNL has proposed November 2nd as kickoff date which leaves us with less than a month to build a very strong and formidable team ready to contend. As someone who knows the terrain, the work begins immediately with hard work on the training ground and some friendly matches to sharpen the team and we will be ready for the enormous task ahead,” the former Niger Tornadoes chief coach concluded.
